Hi Dody and Welcome !!!! I saw the Oakridge Boys in concert at Great Adventure YEARS ago. They are cool !!

My skin all over got so dry since I've been eating much less. If I rub my face it looks like its snowing, ick. Moistureizer is the only thing I can think of and fish oil (omega 3).

I was at 37.1 and my doc took me with no problem. Of course I have/had high bp and high cholesterol, DDDisease and arthritis in the spine. My doc said I'd just skim by with the insurance company and I did. Don't give up Bruce !!!

Ohhhhhh Corinne, Congratulations HUGS & KISSES !!!

YEAH PATTY !! LOL Here's a picture of me, DH and my DD..... its on page 22 of this long thread. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=7729&page=1&pp=15&highlight=picture

YA DID IT !!! YEAH !!!! Congratulations So sorry to hear about that man, sad oh boy is that sad.

Hi Pals Lisa good luck with the insurance company. Did they say they got the paperwork? Please document every person, date and time you speak to there and stay ontop of them...yeah I know "OKAY MOM ENUF !!!" I'll shut up now LOL. Betty, did you break down and make a batch of Cookies today LOL. Patty, OH NO!!! don't tell me Lewis is getting sick? Well you can count on my prayers that he is all better by tomorrow. And no, you don't sound like desperate housewifes LOL !!! I'm glad your comfortable here.... so am I and your welcome for the email Cindy your kids are very lucky to have such a caring teacher like you. I have no doubt when they get older they are just going to smile every time they think of you. Bet your their hero DD sounds like she is coming around (after g'ma's death). Kids are wonderful, they bounce back so quick. Penni your so cool !!!! Well the doc said I'm good to go to work (what does he know harumpf!!!) lol. I lost 24 lbs so far (gotta change the siggy) and he was happy with that. I asked when I get a fill and he said at the rate I'm losing I won't need one. so I said "OH YES I DO BUSTER" I told him at 1200 calories I'm knawing at the walls and how hard it is for me to stay at this level of food. So he said okay, January 6th I go for my first fill :D I could have gone b/f christmas but I really didn't want to SNORT ~~ Wheres the rest of the Gang?? Pat where are you ????

Good Morning Well today is the surgeons visit at 8 am then I'm free the rest of the day. I have to ask him about the stitches that are sticking out of 3 of the incisions. The other two don't have any (that are visible). They don't hurt or anything but they are there and you just can't yank them out.... yeah I tried LOL. Gosh I hope he doesn't have to cut me to get them out ick. Dianne, Johnny & Hangies is gone from paterson, its now in FairLawn across route 208, right near the Nabisco factory. That was our favorite place to go. You could sit and eat your hotdogs all the way, in your car and get a free show by watching the rats in the dumpsters ROFL !! seems nobody cared b/c the place was always busy. We originally came from Paterson but then moved to Waldwick and then to another town. My dad was friends with the original owners of J&H's. But since they moved to FairLawn they changed the sauce recipe and ICK ick ick... Our favorite dog place is the Goffle Grill in Hawthorne, they seem to have stayed the same all these years. My uncle went to school with Lou Costello (from Abbot & Costello). Do you know that they have a statue of Lou outside of the school he went to lol. How come you moved to NC ? Beanie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't forgotten about you and that lawyer, My friend STILL has not responded to my email but when I see her on Monday I'm gonna ask again. I'm not sure if she was on vacation??? I'm glad you had a good shopping experience, and yes, during the week makes it a world of difference. Me !!! make soup??? I'm so lazy. I did find another kind that I'm going to try. Its one dollar less so we'll see how that taste. If it taste like crap I'll just have to find another kind. I like this brand b/c its only 100 calories a cup. Well kiddies, I'm out of here. Pat, Red Hat Lady, whatcha doing today? Betty is making me hungry with all those recipies LOL !!! Talk to you all later. Hugs !!

Welcome Dianne, boy I know every town you mentioned in Jersey, I live in bergen county and my family (cousins) are from Hawthorne... My uncle used to be chief of police there. Its a big italian community. I live about 5 minutes from there I haven't met anyone yet but we will be getting together soon I hope. Oh Betty..... DROOL on those recipes. Those potato stick candies sound soooooooo (insert cuss word here) good !!!!!! ROFL. Yeah yeah thats the Soup...sasafrass!!! why do they have to be that expensive. Phooie. Cindy thats great you got flowers, I'm so glad they made your day. You have good coworkers. How is your daughter? Patty, the gold party sounds wonderful, he's a lucky little guy to have such a great Mom. Sounds like its gonna be a great party. What did your ex say when you said you don't want them to be there???? was he okay with it??? Can't wait to see pictures. Oh well I better get my rump up and make dinner. Tomorrow is the surgeon at 8 am. Guess he's gonna give me my papers to go back to work LOL...phooie LOLOL. TTYL

Sorry Patty I don't but maybe one of the other bansters will.

COOL !! Have fun

Nope haven't tried those. I use Centrum chewables for adults. Plus calcium chewables. Just chew them really good and drink something with it.

I am between 1000 - 1200 a day. I don't want to go to low because when I'm near goal I'm gonna have to drop some calories to reach it. I don't want to maintain a goal weight with only 800 calories or less, if this makes sense. Eating less makes me feel icky. 1200 seems to be a happy spot for me at the moment and so far I'm down 25 lbs since the end of October. Are you taking Vitamins? This is very important plus Calcium. Hope you find a comfy level.

Good Luck !

I'm so glad your home and doing so well Michelle. HUGS AND KISSES !!!!!

That is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL !!!!!! OMG !!!!!! I love all you mentioned but especially 3rd Day and Mercy Me. I would love to have seen this. (I'd love to see Ray Boltz too uuuh). I've seen 4Him, Phil Keagy (sp?), Point of Grace, and Wayne Watson who I've seen a few times. If your ever in dirty jersey, let me know !!! What a great photo, thanks for sharing

Shoot even without the band, tight pants makes you restrictive. Thats why I would never go to a buffet in anything other than my stretchy leggins ROFL !!!!

Ditto's Dirty Jersey has some great doctors. Now be good to yourself..... YES your worth it !!!!

Incase you didn't see Patty's picture I'm posting it again. And I can't wait to see Mr. Lewis This picture was taken last summer at Disneyland. Lewis decided to hide so, you don't get to see my little monkey. Tomorrow, is Lew's 6th birthday, I'm just about finished with party preparations and last minute details. I promise not to forget my digital on Sunday and you all will get to meet Mr. Lew.

Oh Jen, I'm sorry. I hope everything goes smoothly for you. HUGS !!!
